Label of origin for Beckermann: 'Furniture Made in Germany'
“As a traditional manufacturer, we want to underline our high quality standards with the geographical guarantee of origin ‘Furniture Made in Germany’, said Beckermann’s managing director Jürgen Gieske on the occasion of the presentation of the certificate by Jan Kurth, Managing Director of the Association of the German Furniture Industry (VDM). “We are extremely proud of this official recognition, because we put the ‘Made in Germany’ concept into practice well beyond what is required for certification. We attach great importance to the use of German suppliers and materials manufactured in Germany, because this guarantees a reliable supply chain,” added Bernard Lampe, Managing Director at Beckermann. Jan Kurth expressed his delight that “Beckermann, a supplier of high-quality, bespoke kitchens, is now officially part of the ‘Furniture Made in Germany’ circle”.
“The Golden M”
The RAL quality label provides the user of certified furniture with a guarantee that it is durable and harmless to health as well as flawless in its functionality, environmental compatibility and safety.
Before the RAL “Golden M” quality label is awarded, furniture has to pass through a whole series of tests. Experts from neutral testing institutes examine not only the stability, strength, workmanship, functionality and safety of the furniture, but also its pollutant content. In order for furniture to be awarded the RAL quality label, it must not only be free of harmful substances that can cause illness; it must also be produced in such a way that the entire production process is health- and environmentally-friendly. Wood and wood-based materials used for the furniture must not have been treated with biocidal wood preservatives as a preventive measure.
During the production of the furniture, manufacturers must ensure that they do not use processes and materials that are harmful to the environment or health. The consumption of resources, including the energy used, must be carried out in an ecologically sound manner, as must the development and construction, the packaging, the transport, the use, the disposal or recycling and, of course, the entire production of the furniture.
After all, the furniture buyer should be in no doubt that the furniture with the “Golden M” award is fully quality-tested and that they can use it in their home with a clear conscience. It is the only officially recognised quality label for furniture in Germany and it is the most stringent certification for tested furniture quality and safety in Europe.
